Want to play Monk? Don’t know where to start? It’s here! My Dawntrail Monk guide aimed at beginners and intermediate players who want to learn monk in FFXIV Dawntrail.

In 1 min burst window you can use FireRep. more wise, not like you showed it
watched this guide, parsed ridiculous numbers got all the ladies with my huge pumps.
This video started as a guide, but quickly became a life lesson: “Fill balls when needed, drain balls when possible”.
Thanks to this video I was able to drain my balls very efficiently! Thanks!
do you mind sharing what you use to make your hud/hotbar look like that? looks super clean
What do you think of Monk when compared to the other dps? Also im disappointed they didn't fix six sided star, pretty sure it's the only lv 80 skill that is straight up unusable lol.
Potency is stored in the balls.
Also quick aside: Solar Lunar is used as the opener for most ultimates (with the notable exclusion of TOP), mostly due to some nonstandard kill times that let you do some wacky stuff. For example in TEA for Living Liquid you actually get 2 blitzes in your 2nd RoF if you delay using RoF until you almost have 2 stacks of Perfect Balance, as even with delaying RoF this much it will still be up in time for the BJCC reopener meaning you don't lose a use. You'd never ever do this in full uptime fights, but it's one of the wacky things we can do with nonstandard kill times.
Nice video, i think im going to roll an easier class HAHAHAHAH. i love monk, but as a starting player i guess im not prepared.
removing +10% damage buff from twin snakes makes the class so much nicer to play lol
really like how you show and explain the rotation and how it builds up step by step. honestly couldn't tell if i was playing it right so far because the fury didn't make sense to me until the new update.
95% of my playtime i was mainly Tank and now i try to get into Monk and oh boy it's hard 😅 BUT i love Monk ever since FF11 i wanted to have it as my main DPS. That sayd, thank you for this guide. It really helps getting into the matter.
I haven't tried monk yet, but looking at the changes, it seems like it's more braindead now with no demolition dot and serpent strike buff to keep it uptime. Excited to play it later and level.
He punch, he kicc, but most importantly, the class is sicc.
I was looking for a guide without the memes and the cringe sarcasm of the balance one and now I see the same terrible puns here… Guess I'll wait until the IV one…
Seems petty but the fact forbidden chakra isn’t 600 potency+ seems like a huge oversight I can’t play monk with this button feeling so bad to press
I'm glad that I seem to have been mostly playing my monk right cause I've been running it in the extremes without truly knowing if what I was doing was optimal… But I am just sad that I feel like I am doing lower damage than other DPS (or compared to other melee dps at the very least) despite being near melded bis gear and I don't know if it's because I am playing wrong or that's just how mnk is
